Harper Delivers!

39 billion over 7 years will be more than enough to restore fiscal balance to Canada.

There are many other things in this budget which will be afterthoughts considering the impact of the fiscal imbalance money.

The Bloc, facing certain electoral suicide for voting against a concept they created, will endorse the budget, leaving Andre Boisclair in a bit of a pickle…

Ah well, Stephane Dion is going to tell Quebecers that 39 Billion dollars does not exist, and that if everybody closes their eyes and clicks their red heels, maybe the Liberals can get back to Palais des Congres before the shit hits the fan!

The only federal Party other than Conservatives who agree with you are the BLOQ. Doesn't that make you stop and think at all Antonio about your perspective? Do you think you are more of a Quebecer than Dion? Perhaps you shoud hand in your card for a BLOQ or Conservative one.

Dion and the Liberal party are voting against the budget, which solves the fiscal imbalance. With that, they will stay in opposition, and Harper's chances of getting his majority are better all the time.

Good job Harper.

And Shoshana, think before you speak, your troll rants are quite tiresome.

Only someone who obsesses about his own province and is indifferent to the rest of the country--thats you Antonio--could believe that this budget "fixes" the "fiscal imbalance". I wonder if Dalton McGuinty thinks the "fiscal imbalance" has been "fixed.

Canada will never work if we all think only about is how our particular province or territories can get the most money from Ottawa.

You are wrong Antonio. Unless your vision for federalism involves a federal government whose primary role is to transfer wealth from one part of the country to whoever whines the loudest the cause of federalism has not been advanced.

Hey Antonio, I'm afraid I must take offence at your "Dion's garbage line" on fiscal imbalance and your supposed expert opinion of 2 years on the file. Dion's speciality in academia was public administration. He studied this stuff for 11 years. He's written books about it. If he and Coyne (another person with a whack of analytical experience on the file) then forgive me I take their opinion over yours. You have a tendency for religious fervour over "fiscal imbalance" rather than reasoned argument. As a long-term reader of your column, I have never seen an in-depth, coherent argument that proves that fiscal imbalance exists. I have seen such arguments from Coyne against the idea of fiscal imbalance but none from those proposing that fiscal imbalance exists.

Do you really think Quebec will stop demanding more and more money??? lmao. This is the tip of the iceburg. Oh yeah Duceppe said he would take the money and use it towards forming a seperate country. Well done Harper.

Antonio -If you honestly think for 1 fricking second that the so-called fiscal imbalance is solved and that the Bloc is dead, you are naive.Rene Levesque must be smiling from his grave as his legacy continues.Yesterday was a sad day for Canadian federalism and Liberals.
